Check the area around this school
137th of 211 primary schools in Leeds we can score, 221 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 3.4/10 against 3,495 of them, against 3.8/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 62.0 · 44 | 40% | 1.74 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 3.0 · 29 | 25% | 0.73 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Whinmoor St Paul's Church of England Primary School
Overview
Whinmoor St Paul’s Church of England Primary School has “taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection.” It is described as a “vibrant, welcoming school” where pupils enjoy attending and benefit from an “extensive range of opportunities” to broaden their experiences. The majority of pupils meet high expectations by the time they leave, supported by a calm, purposeful atmosphere and strong community links.
Strengths
- The early years classroom is “attractive and well organised,” with clear routines that help children develop independence and positive behaviour.
- Reading is a clear priority; pupils follow a “well-planned reading curriculum” and enjoy a “love of reading,” with effective support for those falling behind.
- The curriculum allows pupils to “connect learning from different subjects well,” enabling them to talk confidently about what they have learned.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are “identified early and supported well,” making good progress through tailored support plans.
- Leaders effectively analyse attendance and behaviour data, working closely with families to ensure pupils “behave well and attend more regularly.”
Areas to improve
- In mathematics, some pupils are not given work that allows them to “deepen their understanding,” meaning not enough reach higher standards by the end of Year 6.
- The governing body does not “check the information leaders provide carefully enough,” limiting their ability to challenge and support leaders effectively.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
